Answer:

The baseball team will have won 42 games, and lost 42 games

Explanation:

This is put simply, because 7 is half of 14, and so the total games won and lost will be half.

For example:
14 - 7 = 7

Which then can be used to interpret the answer as half of the total.

In this instance:
84 - 42 = 42
